You can’t compare the companionship of a pet, with carrying a rock on your hand. The ring costs money and brings absolutely nothing (and people in awe of the beauty of wedding rings are full of shit), the cat is a life that goes through existence with you for years.
You can’t just compare a cost of life, with the cost of a stone, the two don’t have the same value.
Yeah, cat > diamond ring in both emotional utility and actual monetary cost.
I was specifically pointing out that the comment about the ring putting them in more monetary debt than the cat is wrong. A 1-carat diamond ring is going to set you back a couple grand. The costs to raise a cat throughout its lifespan is very likely going to be several times larger than that.
